Ehrenbreitstein: A Painting Outside Time - Framed Prints
100 Rs
Joseph Mallord William Turner RA known as J. M. W. Turner and contemporarily as William Turner, was an English Romantic painter, printmaker and watercolourist, known for his expressive colourisation, imaginative landscapes and turbulent, often violent marine paintings.
Turner was born in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, London, to a modest lower middle-class family. Intensely private, eccentric and reclusive, Turner was a controversial figure throughout his career. He left behind over 2,000 paintings and 19,000 drawings and sketches. He had been championed by the leading English art critic John Ruskin from 1840, and is today regarded as having elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivaling history painting.

About Ehrenbreitstein: A Painting Outside Time
J.M.W. Turner was in turn inspired by Byron's ruminations to produce one of the greatest paintings of his later years. The two men, who certainly knew of each other, and may have met, had both lived through the legacy of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars, and understood that the ensuing peace was both hard-won and precarious. Both treated this scene - the battered fortress seemingly overwhelmed by nature - as a cautious cause for optimism. Perhaps there would be no need for Ehrenbreitstein's thick walls in the future? Perhaps there would be no more wars. But don't bet on it, says Turner's delicate, golden scene. The best we can hope for, perhaps, is this moment of quiet repose. About the Framed Prints
